Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Course Dessert, Valentine's Day
Servings 20 pralines

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g marzipan
  • 4-5 table spoons ground pistachios
  • 180 g dark chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Mix ground pistachios with marzipan to get them all incorporated. Roll marzipan mixture into two thick ropes and cut into equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, you should get about 20 bite size balls. More or less depending on the size.
  • Temper the chocolate. Put ¾ into a bowl and melt over a water bath. Make sure the bowl is not touching the water and temperature is not too hot. Remove as soon as chocolate has melted, it should not get too hot. Add the remaining chocolate and mix until all of the chocolate has melted. The temperature from melted chocolate will melt the remaining chocolate and lower it’s temperature.
  • Drop each ball of marzipan into the melted chocolate, one at the time, you get to work relatively quickly before chocolate gets hard. Help yourself with a fork to lift it out and remove excess chocolate. Place onto parchment paper and sprinkle with ground pistachios. Let them dry and then place each one into a mini muffin case.
